Topic: Propagating bitcoin among indigenous populace - page 2. (Read 266 times)

The young people are truly the strength of the society but in this case of bitcoin, it goes beyond just teaching like in classroom, there is need to practice and this would require internet at least. So internet is one major challenges to this for now to certain indigenous people.

Sharing the knowledge about bitcoin is a real thing. This will help the bitcoin economy to rise and develop. We need first to inform them the ability and power of the bitcoin to their place and they can do to it. They are also a big factor and big part when it comes to developing and spreading the cryptocurrency. If they know its importance, they will also know how it can help them.

  I think this task is much easier said then done. Indigenous peoples aren't adept to modern society and may be the most difficult to sway. Their is a huge barrier of communication between modern society and the indigenous. They see the world within a different light and some are even willing to die in order to preserve it that way, being they've survived this long on nothing but their moral/ethical values passed down from their societies tradition.
  It may be easier to try and reach first those who are modernized within today's customs of society but perhaps focus on those who are in remote rural areas or the impoverished, who may not have access to the same mediums we use to interface with crypto-currency.

If you want to educate those people, try to teach their youngsters with some basics. then after that, you will have nothing to worry about because they believe the things their families said. You can also make weekly seminars but choose only those youngsters who already attended schools so that they will easily understand what your saying.

Indeed, since most of them doesn't even go to school it will be much difficult and that means they don't have understanding about everything that involves technology but I know that it will be surely worth it to help them particularly now that they most of them are suffering just to eat in a day or even live. Its a great idea that to help teach them to clear everything on their minds and so people won't make fun of them or take advantage on them, it won't be hard as long as you have someone to help you.

In my country the indigenous populace are living in the remote areas with limited access to electricity and zero internet connection. Aside from that poverty is high and they are even have a problem on eating rich food since most of the times they are only eating once a day. If we want to teach bitcoin to these indigenous people then we should provide assistance to them. Here are the biggest obstacles in teaching bitcoin to Indigents:

1. No food at the table

It is hard to teach about bitcoin when they are merely surviving. If we want to teach about cryptocurrency them we should help first by providing livelihood programs so they can earn for themselves and buy food in their table and provide other necessities.

2. High illiteracy rate

These people does not even know how to read and write except for some and it is a need to establish a school near the area. How can they understand bitcoin if they even know how to read and write.

3. Absence of Electricity

There is a need to set-up electricity in their area which is very costly considering their distance to the urban centers.

4. Installation of internet connection

This is very important, How can they use bitcoin if there is no internet connection

5. Cannot afford to buy pc or mobile phones

Due to poverty they cannot avail to buy these things but we cannot give dole out so we need to strenghten their livelihood program.

At the end of the day it is very hard to teach the indigenous people about bitcoin since before we can teach them we need to solve their problems at the grassroot level. Aside from that it is very costly.

propagating Bitcoin amongst indigenous populations is a very difficult task indeed. The reason being, that it's hard when they do not have cell phones or smartphones to give them Bitcoin wallets. Also, there may be language barriers in dealing with such peoples. Therefore, much effort must be taken to ensure that they understand the blockchain technology.

There had been lots of article that tackles about indigenous people and how cryptocurrency can help them.  There are also proposals on how to do it.  Here is one that might help or support your Idea OP:

I believe knowledge is power and this also applies to any ventured investment. Understanding one's indigenous environment first can help to establish and harness strategies on how to dispense information about bitcoin especially on the country economic stronghold amidst exploring the vastness of trade and building currency value. Finally, creating more platforms like this and involving the indigenous media with the true value that bitcoin as a crypto portrays will be of great economic help to the community and the nation at large.
